No, of course, that never happened.

Let's face it, it is the bicyclists who are at greatest danger. Please just let us old duffers enjoy our exercising. This is a retirement community. We are supposed to be mellow and enjoying life. I, personally, am not against any group of Villagers. I believe in Live and Let Live.
And yet there are so many that demand "their" lane. Good luck with the "gaggle" in the bike club entering a roundabout as if they are in the peloton in a Tour de France stage.
